Update after taking my new (SH) 20D to work with no card in it.
Took these about a week or so ago.
Handheld with a 10-22 lens.
The rest were on my old kit lens (18-135)

OH, and what size do you have to resize to on here? I did 800 pixels and it has come back that it is still too large! Just as well I have one of these newfangled, high resolution cameras, all those pixels thrown away!
I don't know if anyone else has a similar impression to mine, Immo, that you are swamping the forum with your images?Hi, went to Mainz (Leica M9 - Leitz(Leica) Summicron 2/35 pre-asph), preparing for Carnival Monday:

The essence of this site as I see it is as a place for discussion, as embedded in the term 'forum', but you seem more to be using it as a carpet-bombing arena for your images.
Many of your images are enjoyable / interesting, but might be more appropriately served on a photo-sharing site, of which there are many available.
If this seems like a criticism, I hope that you can accommodate it robustly.
This thread is called "What have you done with your camera today" which rather suggests that the said camera will be used for taking photographs. Some threads I would expect to rarely include photographs but not this one.I don't know if anyone else has a similar impression to mine, Immo, that you are swamping the forum with your images?

If you go back a way in this thread you will see that photos were rarely posted and posts were things like "dropped it", "took it for a walk but didn't shoot anything", "cleaned it ready for my holiday". Almost a "what did you do to your camera today" threadThis thread is called "What have you done with your camera today" which rather suggests that the said camera will be used for taking photographs. Some threads I would expect to rarely include photographs but not this one.
So, three pictures from my test film. The first shot is my favourite coffee Shop, The Angel in Lincoln. The second one is a close-up using a Zorki Industar-25 lens and the third photo is using the Zorki lens fitted to the camera and the Zenit lens held in close contact with it, so shooting through two lenses.No photos to share yet but I have recently bought a Zenit 3M SLR which uses a M39 lens mount. This means that Leica (FED, Zorki) lenses will fit but will be unable to achieve infinity focus due to the increased film to lens mount distance. BUT they will achieve very close focus so I have been trying my Zorki's Industar-25 lens on the Zenit 3M and using it as a macro lens. I even tried holding the Zenit's Industar-50 lens in front of the Industry-25 lens so I was shooting through both lenses and got a close focus distance of about 20mm. I should have the film back from Snappy Snaps on Wednesday and I will share the results then.

There used to be a "rule" that the Talk threads (Talk Photography, Talk Landscapes, etc) were for talk, i.e. words, and the "Photos:" threads were for, well, clue in the name. "Photos : for Pleasure" is/was the place to post photos which you want to show to the world but don't really want critiquing. The mods used to be fairly hot on this distinction but it seems to have gone by the way to some extent.
Whilst there were always a few images in the Talk: threads, generally to illustrate a point, the issue with loads of images in a Talk thread is that it can be hard to follow a conversation if, say someone asks for and receives advice but that is broken up by a load of images.
